1930s evening capelet

#2764          $950

Rhinestone beaded capelet, c.1930

Fluttery little capelets were a popular cover for the bare-shouldered evening dresses in the 1930s. This one will work equally well with a modern slip-style evening gown. Or wear the capelet as a top with low slung jeans. What an ultra-feminine, demure look!

The capelet is fashioned from bias-cut flounces of pale green silk chiffon. The neckline band sparkles with rhinestones and clear crystal beads. The capelet closes at the neckline with self ties.

The condition is almost excellent. The capelet has several tiny brown spots. I do not consider them a problem because they get lost in the folds of fabric.

One size fits all. The capelet is 12 1/2" long at the center back.
